At Intersolar, PES Solar interviewed Jason McCabe, Technical Director at Clenergy, to explore the critical engineering and installation considerations required for large-scale commercial solar projects.
Jason McCabe emphasized that evaluating a roof's loading capacity is essential before installing any commercial PV system, as the ballast weight used to secure flat-roof arrays adds significant stress to the building. To address this, Clenergy introduced the "Ascent 1.1" mounting system. Designed with installer speed in mind, it features click-lock technology and pre-assembled components that allow a rapid, single-tool installation across multiple layout configurations.
To reduce field errors, Clenergy provides complete project support, including site surveys and precise layout calculations, backed by a 25-year warranty. Looking ahead, the company is driving commercial solar safety forward by focusing on mechanical anchoring solutions that minimize ballast weight and integrating specialized arc boxes for secure DC connections.
